## GPU model improvements
The GPUFS model is now available in the standard library!
There is a new `ViperBoard` in `gem5.prebuilt.viper`.
This board is an initial implementation and will be improved in the next versions of gem5.
There is an example script in `configs/example/gem5_library/x86-mi300x-gpu.py` that shows how to use the `ViperBoard`.
See #1636.
